Wealthfare
About 47 million people in the United States receives food stamps every month to survive. The total cost for the year 2012 was $80.4 billion. But these people are maligned not only by some media outlets but are also the target of many common people who see them as living off of government money.
On the other hand, Hollywood, Nascar (for building a race track), Goldman Sachs (for building its headquarters), rum industries, and others are going to get $68 billion from the the US government in 2013. The theft is legal because the Congress has already approved, like they do it every year.
World didn’t end
Last year, the news media, as usual, was busy in spreading a lie that the world was going to end on December 21, 2012, because the Mayan calender didn’t go beyond that date. Instead of clarifying as to what the reason could be, the media was hell bent on dragging its viewers and readers into believing something which they themselves knew wasn’t true. The NASA video makes it clear and also Stephanie Pappas‘s article explains it nicely.
In China, a Christian group was spreading rumors that the world was going to end and Jesus had reappeared as a woman in Central China.
If the the world was really going to end, do you think the masters of our universe, the people who control our lives, would have been anywhere near our planet earth? No. They would have long ago made arrangments to leave the earth for some other world.
